According to volunteers with the Reading Corps, the event aims to stress the importance of early literacy.

"Literacy is so important. One in four third graders right now is not at reading level for their grade. So, Minnesota Reading Corps is a really important program," said Jaime Jost, Volunteer Coordinator for Lowell and Piedmont Elementary.

And Kevin wasn't the only one in on the fun.

Our own Jennifer Walch and Zach Schneider were also keeping kids at Lowell entertained with their reading of "Otis."
